Why?
Your glutes are the main muscles that hold your pelvis steady when you walk, climb stairs, lift, or even stand on one leg.
When these muscles are weak, the SI joint has to work harder, gets irritated, and starts to feel painful.
Stretching might feel good for a moment, but it doesn’t give your pelvis the support it needs.
Strengthening your glutes acts like adding extra ‘muscle seatbelts’ around the SI joint — keeping it stable and reducing pain over time.
